While on the bus last night the song lyrics were "fill me up Lord, fill me up Lord", my mind kept saying "empty me out Lord, empty me out Lord". I've shared with a few friends that with the shop closing, with needing to look for work, that there is a sense of being lost. … Continue reading Morning Musing

On becoming more – a brief revisit
The inevitable question was asked, "And?" And I don't know what this more I'm becoming is. I'm not sure where I'm going. I'm not sure what I'm doing. This moment, like so many others, holds within itself a lot of uncertainty. I'm okay with that. While there are things going on here and that uncertainty … Continue reading On becoming more – a brief revisit
On becoming more
Here it is the beginning of September, this year has a fleeing (spelling intended) feeling about it. Yesterday was January 1 and zoom! September. This time of year is akin to the new year, school is beginning, summer is winding down, there is an energy in the air (oh that's allergies!) that gets me kind … Continue reading On becoming more
Wherein I have a hard time hearing
It's summer. It's been warm. The parish we attend locally doesn't have air conditioning in the main Church. I'm not complaining, just helping to set the scene. There are 6 or 8, much needed, industrial fans located around the Church to help move air when it's hot and sticky outside. We are blessed to have … Continue reading Wherein I have a hard time hearing
I’m not that bad…am I?
Tonight at Mass the Priest made a reference to sewing. He needed to sew a button on a shirt, and the ability to thread the eye of the needle to be frustratingly hard. He managed to, and secured the button on his shirt. He related this experience to the Readings of the day, speaking of … Continue reading I’m not that bad…am I?
If you want to make God laugh
tell Him your plans. Sometimes God says, "No, I know the plans I have for you, and quite frankly this isn't it" or "Maybe, but not today" or "I have something better in mind, Trust Me" or "I love you". When I started writing this post it was a full on whine because over the … Continue reading If you want to make God laugh
Peaceful
You all know that "Oceans" speaks to my heart deeply, in looking back there are at least 6 posts with the song as the basis. It's come up in the play list on Pandora on two separate stations with some frequency, whispering sweetly to Trust God ever more deeply. Trusting God that he is leading … Continue reading Peaceful
Where are you leading?
I read this post by Mary deTurris Poust on her blog Not Strictly Spiritual Friday. Something deeply resonated in my heart, particularly after something I said earlier that morning. In some way I wanted to be part of something, a particular group of people. In an effort to not be whiny I'll leave it at that. Mary's … Continue reading Where are you leading?

God Breathed Life into … Continue reading Breathe
Craftsmanship
FRODO: I can’t do this, Sam. SAM: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the … Continue reading Craftsmanship
